Advertising Disclosure

Affiliate Programs and Partnerships

Link Play participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions from qualifying purchases or actions made through links on our website. These affiliate relationships help support our operations and allow us to provide valuable content and services.

• ▸ Commission Structure: We may receive a percentage of sales or a fixed fee when visitors click on affiliate links and make purchases or complete specific actions
• ▸ Cost to You: Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay for products or services
• ▸ Link Disclosure: Affiliate links may not always be explicitly marked, but this disclosure serves as notice that some links on our website may result in affiliate compensation
• ▸ Program Participation: We may participate in affiliate programs with technology vendors, software companies, and service providers relevant to our industry

Product Recommendations

Our approach to product and service recommendations:

• ▸ Genuine Opinions: We only recommend products and services we believe are relevant and potentially valuable to our audience
• ▸ No Guaranteed Results: Product recommendations do not guarantee specific outcomes, and individual results may vary
• ▸ Independent Evaluation: We encourage visitors to conduct their own research before making purchasing decisions
• ▸ Editorial Independence: While we may earn commissions, our editorial content and opinions remain independent

Financial Relationship Transparency

When we recommend products, services, or resources that include affiliate relationships, we may receive financial compensation. This compensation helps support our website operations, content creation, and service delivery. However, we prioritize recommending solutions that we believe genuinely benefit our audience, regardless of commission rates. Our commitment is to provide honest, helpful information rather than promote products solely for financial gain.

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, Link Play may publish sponsored content, paid promotions, or branded materials. We are committed to clearly identifying such content to maintain transparency with our audience.

• ▸ Clear Labeling: Sponsored content will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar designations
• ▸ Disclosure Placement: Sponsorship disclosures appear prominently at the beginning of sponsored content
• ▸ Content Guidelines: All sponsored content complies with FTC guidelines and industry standards
• ▸ Relevance Standards: We only accept sponsorships for products and services relevant to our audience

Brand Partnership Disclosures

Our approach to brand partnerships and collaborations:

• ▸ We may enter into partnerships with brands and companies in the arcade gaming and development industry
• ▸ Brand partnerships may involve content creation, product reviews, or service evaluations
• ▸ All brand partnerships will be disclosed according to regulatory requirements
• ▸ We maintain editorial control over content, even in partnership arrangements

Content Authenticity Guarantee

While we may receive compensation for sponsored content, we maintain authenticity in our communications. Sponsored content reflects our genuine assessment and perspective, even when compensation is involved. We do not publish content that contradicts our values or misleads our audience. If we cannot provide an honest review or recommendation, we decline the sponsorship opportunity.
